About Lutheran Community Care Services
Lutheran Community Care Services offers counselling services in Singapore, operating from its Bukit Merah centre and serving clients islandwide. The provider is KakiList-verified, confirming that operating details and contact channels have been checked. With 7 Google reviews at a rating of 4.7 out of 5, the sample is too small to draw firm conclusions, and prospective clients should treat this figure as directional only.
For those considering counselling, the typical first step is an initial consultation where the counsellor gathers background information, discusses presenting concerns, and agrees on a suitable approach. Clients should expect to complete an intake form covering personal history, goals, and any contraindications before the first session. It is worth clarifying whether sessions are individual, couples, or family-based, whether a fixed number of sessions is recommended or the engagement is open-ended, and what the cancellation and rescheduling policy is. The Bukit Merah location is accessible by public transport, and sessions may also be available via other arrangements — confirm directly when enquiring.
To take the next step, reach Lutheran Community Care Services by phone or through the enquiry form on their listing, describe your presenting concern, and ask about appointment availability and session fees before committing.
Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.

Lutheran Community Care Services has not published a specific per-session rate on this listing. Singapore market rates for counselling typically range from S$80 to S$180 per session for private practice, though faith-based and community social service organisations often operate on a subsidised or sliding-scale basis, meaning fees may be lower depending on income or referral source. When enquiring, confirm whether there is a first-consultation or assessment fee, whether a package rate is available for multiple sessions, and whether sessions are GST-exempt (as with many social service providers). Also ask about any cancellation or no-show charges. See the full counselling cost guide for Singapore →
Many counselling services, particularly those run by community care organisations, accept self-referrals — you can contact them directly without a GP referral. However, an intake form or brief phone assessment is typically required before the first session so the counsellor can confirm that the service is an appropriate fit for your situation. A GP referral can be helpful if you intend to claim under MediShield Life or an employer's insurance plan, or if you are presenting with a complex mental health condition that may benefit from a coordinated care approach. Confirm with Lutheran Community Care Services whether they accept insurance or community health fund referrals before your first appointment.
Singapore does not currently have a single mandatory licensing body for counsellors, though practitioners working to recognised standards are typically accredited by the Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC) or hold registration with the Singapore Register of Psychologists (SRP) if they practise as psychologists. Counsellors employed by community social service organisations are also expected to meet National Council of Social Service (NCSS) standards where applicable. Lutheran Community Care Services has not listed specific regulatory licences on this KakiList profile. Before your first session, ask the counsellor for their professional accreditation body and membership number so you can verify their standing on the relevant public register. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
If Lutheran Community Care Services isn't the right fit, these are other counselling providers on KakiList worth shortlisting. All are independently listed — no affiliate fees, no "featured" sponsorships.
